Thanks. Might also try making another vid from outside. This cell phone mic picked up some crazy noises that are not really there.

PS the ticking goes away after car warms up

 

I updated OP with yet another vid from outside, also edited my post: i actually hear noise both when the car is just warmed up and when its fully warm (noise is not as loud), NOT when its cold. I assume its because noise is there at 1k RPM or lower and cold car revs higher then that.

* new vid is being processed by YouTube

 

Its not as easy as I thought it would be to remove the belt. I am always late in the mornings and during the day there is no noise or its hard to hear.....I know its easy, but since I haven't done this before, I don't know if its gonna take me 5 minutes or longer.

But my question is, why would a cam wheel be dry on a well maintained 06 S2k with only 50k ?

 

Camwheel has nothing to do with maintenance. Seems the noise is not even there anyway.

Cant see you vid, says its a private video.

 

Fixed. Made public.

Noise is not there when car is cold, once the car warms up and RMPs hang around 1 or just below I hear that ticking inside that you can hear on the vid, once I start driving and car is fully warmed up the noise goes anyway. I haven't noticed any other engine related problems a side from maybe vibration at idle seems a little above normal.

I read that all s2ks vibrate like that, or maybe its valve adjustment related? I had Honda do valves at around 30-35k because car was misfiring at that time.

 

sounds like you need a valve adjustment.

tct literally sounds like a bicycle with a card hitting the spokes

 

i will be going to NH soon and will schedule an appointment with local s2k shop.....i dont trust dealership. maybe valves need adjustment again.
